Product Description
Structural Formula:
CAS #: 111-30-8
Molecular weight: 100.11 g/mol
Molecular Formula: C5H8O2
Properties:
Glutaraldehyde is highly toxic and can cause serious health risks if it comes into contact with the skin or eyes. Proper protective gear must be worn when handling this hazardous material to avoid adverse health effects such as eye irritation, sneezing, difficulty breathing or asthma-like symptoms. The toxicity of glutaraldehyde also means it must be handled cautiously, stored in a secure place away from food and beverages and disposed of properly to prevent environmental contamination.
Applications
Glutaraldehyde has numerous industrial uses, including disinfection of healthcare facilities and labs due to its effectiveness at killing microorganisms on contact. It’s also commonly used as a preservative in mortuaries, for bleaching pulp during paper production, for preserving fish eggs during aquaculture operations, in dental offices to make impressions for crowns or dentures and even in some cosmetics such as hair colourants or lotions.
